After watching the video myself, I found a few takeaways relevant…

1. He is denouncing forms of crowdthink.
2. He denounces the way people on Lemmy tend to grab sources and distribute biased knowledge.
3. Key red flags he gives describe the core fabric of Lemmy’s culture, such as when he says it’s a red flag when we interpret peoples’ intent for each other or try to tell each other how to feel about certain things.
4. The very beginning of the video has him talk about the difficulty of defining a good source over a bad one due to how we cannot be certain of anything and how our ideology might be natural to us only due to our circumstances. People on Lemmy tend to not think in any terms other than “if it’s what I’m accustomed to, it’s right”.
5. He talks about sources in a way that makes all the instances of people on Lemmy complaining about others sealioning look bad.
6. OP is historical on Lemmy and has seen all the things he talks about converge on her in ways that violate absolutely everything he says (one of the key ones even has a community trying to establish sealioning as inherently wrong). It’s buried now, but look up material related to "Leni, “Lenny”, or “Call me Lenny/Leni” (that was their full screen name). This individual who led a witch hunt against Leni (short for Madeline, if you get tired of saying Leni) even got the whole fediverse to violate the “indicting a whole demographic” red flag because this place is far from his way of thinking, not that it isn’t common for them to do this to big businesses in general. I remember getting mixed into it just because I merely asked about her and shared a meme and being accused of being Leni.

I am currently running an experiment about this as an example in progress.

Leni did that? Holy shit.

You dropped something.

This is what she’s referring to.

Madagascar has always had nothing to it. So good they’re willing to do this.

It would put all the infighting in some of these communities into perspective.

Oh. Whoops. Was that there before? Sorry about that.

I mean, you’re the one brigading. That’s more fitting of a question for the other person to ask.

It baffles me why Davel thought I was a recurring troll, and then had to unban me just to ban me again so that I appeared at the top of the modlogs. Does he genuinely think I’m any of those users, or is this a game of satisfaction to him as this would imply?

Be careful out there.

You’d be surprised. Any time some famous YouTube host says anything about Tiananmen Square, there’s almost always an obligatory drama queen remark about being banned from China the moment it gets uploaded (I say “drama queen remark” because I would be surprised if anyone would actually want to go to China aside from seeing the great wall and marking it off a bucket list of every nation that ever existed).

I’m surprised they’d actually oblige on that.

We could always switch to committee-based governance.

Do you ever plan to go to Murica or have family in Murica?

Has he even been in the news lately?

If by speculation you mean indirect confirmation.

I couldn’t have explained that aspect better. Thanks.

Not really what I said. Though I think this was answered better in the other exchange where someone asked.
